Around Can Yücel Street
The old village sits inland. Pick a cobbled side street, pause at a shaded table and return by a different lane. The poet Can Yücel once lived here. Leave doorways clear when you stop to take a photograph.
From village to beach
Wear comfortable shoes for the uneven stones. If you want a swim afterwards, take a towel and finish at Taşlık in central Datça. Mark your return bus stop before you start wandering.
